Value five before five things occur

Kindly provide the correct sequence and the reference to the following narration:

“Take benefit of five before five: your youth before your old age, your good health before your sickness, your wealth before your poverty, your free-time before your preoccupation, and your life before your death”

Answer

Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has recorded the narration in question in his Mustadrak.
